does your shit stink?
    #14076633 - 03/06/11 05:14 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

day 31: just birthed my twelve cakes using the PF-TEK and shotgun fruiting chamber methods and techniques. my strains are all p. cubensis: creepers, gulf coast, and ecuador. this is my first grow and so far am having good luck.

heres the question: after birthing them and placing them in the fruiting chamber, my upstairs smells, not earthy, but like shit. i know from all the wild mush I have collected throughout the years the shrooms can have a strong earthy, pungent, shitty smell. but I do not have any cow manure or any shrooms pinning yet and it wreaks.

any answers? or is it my plumbing?

I think its the plumbing.

Mushies don't smell like shit. The closest thing I've found to the smell of shit in a grow is bacterial contamination. But its more like rotting garbage, not like actual :cuteshit: type shit.

Mushrooms are kind of musky to me, kinda like the smell of a ferret, if you've ever been around one.

damn. i was wondering could some of them be contaminated with white bacteria/mold and my eye is just untrained at this point to catch it.

i am taking it though, that the smell could point to mold/bacteria.

i let my cakes colonize a little long i think, because i left the tin foil on them while they colonized. took a little longer than expected, and also i did not birth until maybe a week or 5 days past full colonization.

appreciate any and all comments/conclusions/criticisms

From what I've read from here and from RR's videos, it's good to let your jars sit for a full week after full colonization before you birth them, so they can consolidate their hold on the substrate.  So I don't think waiting 5 days would have been a negative thing.

As for the smell, I'm still new to this so I can't speculate on why they smell like poo... mine smelled like fresh mushrooms from like a grocery store.

You said the room smells like shit. How does the fruiting chamber smell? Like the rest of the room or does it have a different smell? Have you eliminated anything else that could smell that way in your room? If it is your grow that smells it may not be all of your cakes it may be one or two. One way you could take them out of your room and see if they still smell then go one by one smelling your cakes to eliminate which one is contaminated. Good luck. myc

my roommate and i both agree that the cakes smell almost pleasant...earthy...yet almost sweet. kinda pleasant.

i am hoping for $$$ sake, it is neither contamination in either FC, or a plumbing problem. maybe a mouse crawled up and died in my damn attic.

i may post some pictures of what turns out with my 1st grow attempt. thanks again for yalls posts.

checked 'em. they are the source of the problem turns out.

questions:

white mold/bacteria looks like what? do different strains have different mycelium formations?

i have two different looking fully colonized cakes. one looks fluffy, puffy, thick and cloudy white.
the other looks spider-webbed, striated, and like rays stretching out.

The most common white mold that you can get with mushroom cultivation in trich....It will grow fast and it appears hard.  Then it eventually turns green.....Mushroom mycelium can be fluffy and "rope" like that you describe....

yea the trich comes in white and fluffy at first then when u check on it one day, its freaking green! its a shitty sight to behold. tho ive never noticed green mold stinking bad. now bacteria can do this, yes. u would kno if it was the grow by opening the pin. the bacteria infestations ive had always smelled like piss or something as soon as i popped the lid.... it flooded the room.but i was always able to pin point that it came from the bin.

did the cakes have a slimey and yellow look to them when u birthed them? did it smell like garbage or piss? did u see wet spots in the jars? theese have all been indicators of bacteria in some of my failed grows.

good luck man. i hope u make out with some shrooms in the end brother:mushroom2:

thanks kreepa.

no slime, no yellowing.
no garbage or piss smell.
BUT....i did notice some condensation or wet spots inside the jars before i birthed them.

2nd day in FC, temp = 82 degrees with humidity measuring 99%-100%.

also...i had to set back up three cakes that fell over due to an accidental bump, think this will affect my grow?

i'd crank it lower then that, 70-75 tops


yes they grow in warmer temps, but you get lanky, fruits with hollow stems

in lower temps like me, 65 degre's produces thick, meaty fruits that are known to be more potent..

it allows them to grow slower and meatier, instead of really quick and flimsy




this is what i mean by beautiful, thick dense fruits..

should my humidity be in the 80-90% range while waiting for them to pin? or should the humidity be as high as you can get it?
